“The human tendency is to engage itself in the study of effect, but give little attention to the cause behind all effects.”
Makes sense.
“This is also why people who make a goal of losing weight…actually lose the weight, and then end up going back to the same or worse weight than when they started. Why? Because in the end the weight was not the source of the problem, only the effect.”
I felt like I was having one of those moments you see in cartoons where the book starts talking to you. It was like Hardy appeared in a thought bubble and pointed at me: “I'm talking to you, Natasha!”
He is right.
I still have not come to terms with what makes me overeat in the first place, and until I do I will continue to repeat the same lose-gain cycle that I've repeating since I was 14. I will have to come up with a plan for discovering the cause of my overeating. And soon.
On an unrelated note, I have decided to change my hairstyle. Here's what my hair looks like currently.
I'm definitely over this look. I want something a lot more polished. I scheduled a hair appointment on Monday and I'll post a picture of my new ‘do’ on Tuesday.
I"ve been trying to figure out my CAUSE for years.
ReplyDeleteMy issues are not overeating....but eating the wrong things. I'm a sugar addict.
Mmm... sugar. Good call on "eating the wrong things." I know that's a big part of my problem too. When faced with a choice between cake and yogurt, I know which one I would take!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the book you've been reading. Soon here, I'm going to have to do some serious self evaluating also. Just to make sure that we dont go back to the way it used to be!
